Or in other words, I belong to a M.O.M. group where we are in groups of 5 women, who go out of our way to learn to cook a little more gourmet and serve it to the rest of the group. Fun! Lots of fun really. This past week was my groups turn. We spent the time planning a theme, which was "Chinese New Year" and planned our menu around that. Yes, I'm kicking myself that I didn't take pictures of all the amazing food we served. Each one of us chose a couple things to cook. I made Honey Coconut Walnut Shrimp (yum!), white sticky rice, and an Asian Salad. Also on the menu was:
Appetizer: Egg rolls, lettuce wraps
Soup: Vegetable dumpling
Salad: Chinese chicken salad, Asian Salad
Main Course: Beef & Broccolli, the above shrimp, Lou Mein, and Fried Rice
Dessert: Great Wall of Chocolate (cake), homemade fortune cookies, and almond cookies.
It was a ton of food, all delicious, lots of laughs, super fun, and great company.
